England U20s call up for Jack Lightbown

Fri 20 Sep 2024 18:12

Congratualtions to the Sale Sharks Academy who, with nine players selected, make up almost one fifth of England’s U20 Men’s Elite Player Squad (EPS) for the 2024/25 season.
In particular we're delighted to congratulate one of our own, homegrown JACK LIGHTBOWN on his England call up.
Jack is no doubt looking sad in this photo because his Eccles Colts jumper no longer fits him! Don't worry Jack we'll sort you out with a signed Eccles shirt you can frame in return for an England shirt!
